Chapter 570

The first one to react was Shadow Wolf.

The moment the robots began to retreat to high altitudes, Shadow Wolf jumped up and rushed into the crowd of robots. He continued to climb higher on wind steps, and at the same time kicked the robots back to the ground with one kick.

At the same time, Mu You's Shenpi flew into the air again. He grabbed a handful of robots with both hands and threw them downwards.

The players below also reacted at this time, squeezing wildly at the falling robot from the sky.

The current battle is completely different from before. Players no longer have to worry about the resurrection of these robots. They only need to break the air shields on their bodies and let the mirage leak in, and they are done.

After being suppressed all the way, they were finally able to fight back. The players were all very enthusiastic and used various special skills to throw at the robots for free. Dozens of robots turned into 'emerald stone sculptures' one after another.

At the same time, King Octopus and Bone Dragon, who had been guarding the base, also received orders from Mu You. Bone Dragon flew directly into the sky, its tail and claws swung, and a large number of robots were shot flying to the ground.

King Octopus is even simpler. He doesn't even need to jump. With his huge body and slender tentacles, he can easily catch these escaped robots by just extending his tentacles.

King Octopus's eight claws move in unison, and robots fall like raindrops one after another, and they all land accurately near the player.

The players who had been prepared below immediately swarmed up and violently tore open the air shield on the robot. After the robot was petrified, they immediately rushed to the next location...

This one-sided massacre lasted for nearly five minutes.

In the end, except for a few lucky robots, more than 90% of the robots were left on Sky City.

The players were still not satisfied. Players with the ability to fly continued to pursue outwards, constantly intercepting and killing robots along the way, until they chased to the edge of the spread of the mirage, and intercepted dozens of robots.

"Okay, don't chase the poor bandits."

Mu You hovered in front of the mirage dividing line and promptly stopped several excited players who were about to continue chasing.

At this moment, there were only about forty mechas left outside the mirage. However, they did not escape anymore. Instead, they wandered near the boundary of the mirage, always keeping a certain distance from the mirage.

A group of players also realized that if these robots dared to stop, they must be confident. It seemed that as long as the mirage left, they would have nothing to do with the robots, so they had to follow Mu You back.

After returning to Sky City, Mu You immediately contacted other city owners through Sky City's communication system and informed them of the situation in the mirage.

"No problem, just fly over here."

"The mirage can indeed paralyze the robot! So as long as it enters the mirage range, it will be safe."

"Haha, let me just say, how come these guys don't have any weaknesses..."

"I am running away in the direction of the mirage. There are thousands of mechas chasing me behind me. Let's see how I can trick them when they are about to arrive..."

"I can't believe that mirage has become our protection..."

…

The city lords were either surprised or sighing, and their men were not slow in their actions, steering the city towards the direction of White Maple City.

At present, Dawn City is safe for the time being. Mu You has arranged some manpower for defense, while others are teleported to other sky cities through the teleportation array to help defend.

Whenever a city is about to enter the mirage range, Mu You will lead his people to ambush near the mirage. As soon as the robots get close to the mirage, they will immediately emerge to intercept those robots that want to escape and try to kill them as much as possible. Remain in mirage.

However, after doing this once or twice, these robots also learned a lesson. Whenever the pursuit was close to the mirage, they immediately stopped and fled directly, without giving them a chance to intercept and kill. After several times, they intercepted the team. All in vain.

While chasing and escaping like this, a few hours later, as the last Starlight City also entered the mirage range, the other ten sky cities except Twilight City all converged in the mirage.

"Let's do some statistics. How many robots have been captured so far?"

Several city lords met in Dawn City and Mu You asked.

In fact, these robots are not dead, but are temporarily paralyzed by the influence of mirage. If the mirage is sent out of the range, they will be resurrected after the mirage dissipates in the body.

So there is no way to say how many robots were killed, they can only be counted as prisoners.

"I have six hundred and fifty-two bodies here..."

"Four hundred and three bodies in Sunrise City..."

"Seven hundred and sixty-eight bodies in Rising Sun City..."

…

Everyone reported on their own Sky City's achievements. At the last statistics, a total of more than 5,700 robots were captured!

However, Mu You knows that this seemingly huge number is actually only a small part of the 'Exterminators' produced by the robots, and more Exterminators have not yet appeared.

"What's next?" Solomon asked.

Now Sky City is temporarily safe, but keeping Sky City is only the first step. They cannot stay in the mirage forever, and they must find a way to fight out.

Mu You looked at the Emperor.

The emperor nodded and announced a piece of information.

"The news just sent by the frontline personnel is that the three mechanical warships are currently staying in a place called 'Rainbow City'. This place is where the mirage is currently spreading to the boundary of the Great Abyss. The three mechanical warships are already here. A battle started with mirage creatures, temporarily bringing the spread of mirage to a standstill..."

Tianzi pointed to a marked point on the map and explained.

Mirage gas does not leak from the Hero Tower and continue to spread around. The natural spread of mirage gas has a range. Beyond this range, there must be active mirage gas creatures to ensure that the concentration of mirage gas nearby is greater than a critical value before it can continue to expand to the periphery, otherwise the expansion of mirage gas will stagnate or even shrink.

This is because the essence of mirage gas is a perception system of mirage tapirs. Mirage tapirs can perceive the space within a certain range around them. Beyond this range, mirage gas creatures must be used as "detectors" to continue to spread outwards so that mirage tapirs can gain vision of more areas.

Of course, this expansion also has limits.

The perception range of the mirage tapir itself extends from the teleportation point at the bottom of the lake in the real world to the server entrance, and then to the Star Spirit Realm to the periphery of Baifeng City, which is the limit.

On this basis, the mirage creatures can continue to help the mirage tapir expand its influence range by about one-fold, that is, a circular area with Baifeng City as the center, covering about one-third of the entire Star Spirit Realm.

Beyond this circular area, no matter how hard the mirage creatures try, they can no longer maintain the concentration of mirage.

This is why the lamp god said that the mirage will only affect one-third of the Star Spirit Realm at most. Once it exceeds this range, even if the mirage is forcibly transported out, it will quickly dissipate naturally.

Now, the robot's strategy is very clear: since the mirage depends on the activity of the mirage creatures at the edge of the mirage to expand, then it only needs to snipe these mirage creatures on the way and block their way forward, so as to stop the expansion of the mirage in this direction.

Even as the mirage creatures retreat step by step, the edge of the mirage can be continuously retreated until it retreats back to Baifeng City.

After that, we can find a way to block the leak of the Tower of Heroes, and then we will succeed and successfully intercept the mirage outside the Star Spirit Realm.

"The location of Hongguang City is just at the midpoint of the line connecting Baifeng City and the Great Abyss. The robots want to start from here and repel the mirage step by step. Then we will go here to support and help the mirage creatures resist the robots, so that the mirage boundary will continue to expand towards the Great Abyss!" Mu You said.

Their strategy is also very simple, that is, to let the mirage cover all the way to the Great Abyss, and then use the cover of the mirage to disintegrate the defense line of the robots step by step until the mirage infiltrates into the Garden of Eden, and then find a way to break their nest.

After determining the course of action, everyone immediately went back and controlled their respective cities to set off.

Ten sky cities formed a straight line in the air and flew straight towards Hongguang City.

This journey took more than ten hours.

By the next morning, before arriving at Hongguang City, many people's "closing" time was approaching, and they had to temporarily leave the Star Spirit Realm.

However, as someone leaves, someone else will come. There are now more than two thousand doors discovered on Earth, and the opening time of each door is different, basically evenly distributed within a ten-day cycle.

So in theory, a group of new players can come to the Star Spirit Realm to support every day. As long as the rotation is arranged reasonably, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient manpower.

In addition, there is another problem, which is the problem of regular sleep in the mirage.

The creatures in the mirage must be forced to sleep once every period of time. This is an unavoidable rule. As long as they are in the mirage, even real beasts such as bone dragons and scorpion lions have to bear such side effects.

Fortunately, everyone has figured out the rules of the mirage in advance, brushed nightmare powder early, and everyone took turns to sleep. Once the minimum sleep time of two hours is over, they can be "woke up" by their teammates at the first time. In this way, they can stay awake most of the day, and the impact is almost negligible.

"Now that the situation has stabilized, we'll leave first."

In the early morning, the night watchman dragged the sleepy Linglong to say goodbye to Mu You.

They will go to the Fatima Empire next to complete the mission of the Mystic Church.

The next melee cannot be changed by the two of them. They can't help much if they stay. It's better to continue to complete what should be done.

Now half of the Fatima Empire has been shrouded in mirage, including the capital of the empire where the Mystic Church is located. This kind of sudden natural disaster, needless to say, must be a chaos in the imperial capital at this moment, and people are in a panic. It is a good time to make trouble.

Linglong, who was dragged here by force, yawned tiredly: "Well, if I had known, I would not have returned to Earth at the beginning. I have to toss and turn between the two sides..."

"Hehe, the game is so restrictive that many operations cannot be realized. Now that we come here in person, we can finally let go of our hands and feet."

The night watchman looked at Mu You eagerly, raised his index finger and said: "I have thought of nine ways to fool that priest, nine ways! They are..."

"Okay, okay, don't tell me, you can do it yourself!" Mu You hurriedly stopped. If he really started, he would have to talk nonsense for a long time.

After watching the two clones leave, Mu You saw that the situation was relatively stable, so he told the herbalist to help guard the Dawn City, and he took the time to teleport to the abyss.

[You appear near the 'Lochmadi Great Abyss'...]

With the prompts in his mind, Mu You appeared in a jungle.

After taking a bottle of invisibility potion, Mu You flew directly to the sky on a broom and looked down.

At this moment, the abyss was still shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist, like a huge mouth opened on the earth, ready to devour anyone.

The difference is that at this moment, around the abyss, there are huge long strips of deep caves on the top, bottom, left and right, showing the outline of a 'ship' as a whole.

The four deep caves were connected together, causing the surface of the entire abyss to sink hundreds of meters, turning it into a basin.

Mu You estimated that these should be the traces left by those steel battleships. These warships had been hidden underground around the abyss until yesterday, when they were summoned by robots.

But what makes Mu You strange is that didn't he only find three battleships? Why are there four pits here?

Could it be that... there is another ship that has not shown up?

Mu You searched around and found no trace of other warships. On the contrary, when he was close to the surface of the abyss, he suddenly felt a subtle sense of unreality.

Mu You couldn't help but stay just above the abyss, looking at the scene of the abyss below.

At first glance, it looked exactly the same as when he came before. It was shrouded in mist, bottomless, and unable to find any flaws.

But under the influence of many top 3A masterpieces on the planet, Mu You suddenly had a sense of déjà vu at this moment as if he was watching a game CG.

Mu You frowned and tried to fly downward.

"Boom!"

When he was about to approach the surface of the abyss, Mu You suddenly felt that he hit an invisible wall. The invisibility effect immediately disappeared and he was forced to break out.

At this time, Mu You finally saw what was underneath him: it was actually a transparent barrier, composed of countless hexagons, like an upside-down bowl, covering the surface of the abyss...

Mu You suddenly understood. No wonder it felt unnatural. The scene in the abyss was just a projected illusion. It was just too realistic, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality.

But that's not the point. The point at this point is what's inside the barrier.

Beneath this invisible barrier, a huge steel battleship was moored above the entrance to the abyss. With its huge size, it was like a pressed stone slab in a cellar, directly covering the entire entrance to the abyss.

"Discovered invisible unit, identified as: The Fool! Danger assessment: Highly dangerous. Execution of orders: clear, erase, drive away."

Following the sound of an announcement, densely packed robots suddenly crawled out from all over the battleship and swarmed towards Muyou.

At the same time, the surface of the battleship facing Mu You was like honeycomb coal, revealing numerous muzzles and gathering white light.

The surging energy quickly condensed, and thousands of artillery launched a familiar covering saturation strike towards Mu You's position.

"Depend on!"

Mu You's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly retraced his steps. Then without thinking, he decisively turned the broom and walked away from the surface of the abyss.

Fortunately, he retreated in time and did not come into contact with the surface of the barrier, so he was not exposed yet.

Hiding in the distant forest, Mu You looked at the mouth of the abyss in front of him, but couldn't help but frown.

Originally, he was thinking that if these robots were deployed in full force and the army was massing on the front line, then the lair would be empty. If there was a chance, he might try to steal a wave of homes or something.

Unfortunately, it turned out that he had overthought. These robots acted very carefully and did not neglect to protect their hometown. They directly arranged for a battleship to stay here.

And he did it even more brilliantly than he imagined: he actually used warships to 'cover' the surface of the abyss, simply blocking the path for outside creatures to go to the abyss.
